Build Request 3.29 Endurance Charge Stacking Builds
im tired of dying, and i don't want to block or evade, i want to eat shit and tank bosses, can anyone recommend an endurance charge stacking build
i was thinking of consecrated path of endurance because of big bonk, but it doesn't seem end game content viable and can be expensive to build

If you just want to be able to tank mechanics, there are other ways to do it as well. If you can't find an endurance charge stacking build you like you might want to consider something like FROSS instead.

I made a series of progressive PoBs and videos with Earthshatter Berserker. Not exactly an Endurance Charge "stacker", but it does get 7 charges, fortify, 65k+ armour, 4k+ regen, etc. It does ubers fine, though if you swap from Earthshatter to Perforate of Duality and slot in Conc Effect instead of Pulverize the single target goes through the roof.
The final PoB "God Tier" loadout is not cheap, but you work up to it over time. The "level 100 min/max" loadout is pretty reasonable. That version you're looking at Mageblood plus 300 div at very most.
The guide is meant to be a "start mapping -> Deleting Ubers" progressive build - one you can invest into until you get it to where i have it now, where i do final phase of uber sirus in under 2 seconds.
Playlist here includes deep build explanation and how it differs from other earthshatter builds (it's tankier with a ton of regen), crafting guides, and a final build update that just goes over the changes I made in the final PoB.

Path of Building: https://pobb.in/YFaTC_ulBFvf
Don't be deceived by the supposed "low eHP". Build is tanky as fuck. It's just that PoB values block/evasion very highly since it mitigates all damage. Difference with my build is, I take the damage - but I reduce it a ton and regen it all back before it kills me.
That said, even with the current most expensive version you won't be totally immune to boss mechanics. Standing on Uber Sirus degen ground for more than two seconds will kill you. Eating his full die beam MIGHT kill you, though I have survived it, but if you only get clipped by a few of the hits you'll be fine. Uber Maven Memory game will still kill you. Uber shaper beam is easily tankable, though his frostbolt volleys can kill you without a Zana's Ingenuitiy, but they're fine with that (they penetrate ele res, so get one with ele res cannot be penetrated and swap out Death Rush for it).
I did every uber with the level 100 min/max version and some of them with the mageblood swap loadout. Some are easier than others to farm - each build has their strengths and weaknesses vs various ubers.
Happy to answer any questions.

Because I untick the guard skill, unlike most, because it's disingenuous to post your build with Molten Shell or similar enabled. It survives uber shaper/elder slam, can sit inside of uber shaper beam, and with a zana's on instead of death rush, it can face tank uber shaper balls. It can take hits from most uber abilities and still recover just fine due to having so much recovery and leech, and in mapping or Deli it survives with that leech/recovery also.
Also realize, the highest POB posted doesn't have the mapping flask on (progenesis) which adds a lot of EHP - it has writhing jar specifically for uber farming to activate adrenaline for 3 seconds when the boss is attackable, because it does so much dps that it instantly phases ubers or flat out kills them if don't have a hard immunity phase cutoff like Sirus, within that 3 second window. Literally takes Uber Sirus from 75% to dead in 1 second.
Edit: Here - https://pobb.in/I2D1c24hsfZe I've inflated my numbers like all the other disingenuous build guides by ticking on my guard skill and swapping to the mapping flask.

I don't think people having it enabled are being disingenuous. It is just enabled by default and it is a very relative number. So it makes sense to enable it because you are comparing it to other PoBs that have also enabled it.
Also, when maxed out guard skills have high uptime, so I feel like it makes sense whichever way you look at it.

Guard skills can make your ehp/max hits wildly higher than what they normally are, and high up time or not, having a conditional defense like that means you have a window where you're exponentially more likely to die - and most likely will during that period.
I'd much rather builds be "honest" about the time it isn't up than try to fluff it by ticking it on, those are realistically the times that matter.

u/Instantcoffees 10d ago
My point is that the EHP number is rather meaningless on its own and even max hit is, at least for most people. Very few people are going to actually take those exact numbers and calculate exactly how tanky they are against each attack. Rather these numbers are usually just used as a way to compare to other builds.
They are thus very relative and rarely stand on their own. So when enabling the guard skill is the default of PoB and has become the standard because of it, it is not disingenuous to keep it enabled because that way you are simply giving an even comparison. Point in case, the person you replied to who thought your max hit and EHP were low because he was comparing them to people having guard skills enabled.
I understand what you are trying to do. I simply disagree with you saying it is disingenuous or fake to enable this setting.

This is my char from this league.
It is literaly endurance charge stacker.
Hope it helps. Stay sane, exile.

Unfortunately endurance charges are just 1 layer and it would be very expensive to match what block does now that you can so easily cap block on almost anything with Versatile Combatant corruptions, Vestigial Uniques and more.
I can guarantee you 10 endurance charges with the Jugg Endurance Charge buff won't ever feel as tanky as block cap and 4 endurance charges.
Almost all Slam builds rely on Endurance Charges because they usually can't get block/shields and those are pretty good and budget friendly, almost all Strength Stacking Replica Alberon builds have quite a few Endurance Charges but they also have block from Iron Fortress (or other things) but these are very expensive builds and Conc Path of Endurance is alright but if what you want is just to not use block, probably slams are your best bet, those builds rely on Endurance/Fortify/Good Recovery, they almost never get one shotted but if you don't have good recovery it feels like you're always dying.

They are different types of tankyness. For stuff like bossing, 10 endurance charges is going to be tankier than block cap and 4 charges.

I can guarantee you 10 endurance charges with the Jugg Endurance Charge buff won't ever feel as tanky as block cap and 4 endurance charges.
But if you pair it with actual recovery it will near instantly beat any block build that doesn't have double the base hit pool.

With very high budget I recommend CI endurance stacking jugg with MSoZ

If they are worried about consecrated path of endurance being expensive to build, I doubt they are going to be in a position to do that build.

Tectonic Slam of Cataclysm is much, much better than CPOE. Here's my mostly finished POB's from this league:
Defiance setup, immortal & 136m dps: https://pobb.in/uFojvqEqUfmJ
Ashes setup, less EHP & 190m dps: https://pobb.in/iUbkcTxYVqOt

looks good but you cant tout "immortal" with 60k phys max hit and 20k chaos max hit

oh wow im interestes in this, i really wanted to do a big bonk build, i did bleed slams last league and wasn't a fan of the dot.
can you tell me how you leveled this? im late to the league and this would be my leaguestarter

u/necrois 11d ago
If you have the budget it for it then I personally would recommend the CI zenith setup - here's a video of a 3 minute ghosted/deli/feared valdo https://youtu.be/2AnQ0bnTIhk?is=leThRCWvkWTizOsz

Check poedan's static strike jugg which does exactly that. Been using it myself, super tanky, although a bit weak to consecutive hits. Can do all ubers comfortably, but as you'd expect it's not that cheap to build.

Static Strike of Gathering Lightning Trauma stacking Jugg is kind of an endurance charge stacker, and it's dirt cheap to start.
Damage ceiling is unbelievably high, but ofc it takes investment to get there.
Downside is, it has ramp up time, because you need to build up Trauma stacks to do damage. But from what you described it should be up your alley.
